What are you guys getting with this memory with 2 DIMMs in? Right now I am running 250 @ 2.5-3-3-0 really stable I believe.

What are you guys getting with this memory with 2 DIMMs in? Right now I am running 250 @ 2.5-3-3-0 really stable I believe.
Zeus, i have now tried running memtest 86 and #5.
I now have a fan blowing over ram cuz i almost burned myself =)
Ram does not get that hot in any other bench or test i tried.
So you are giving your mem 3.1v uberman??
I have only gien it 2.8 so far. I didn't know how well they liked high volts. but yours seems to be doing ok.
I think I will give it 3.1v when I get home from school
I have having so much trouble with this memory. What DIMMs are you guys running your memory in? I am in 1 + 3. Or should I change it to something else?
I'm gonna RMA mine, got an RMA number already.
It runs hot, it makes my system not wanting to boot if i set DRAM drive strength below level 3 and it fails Prime at default timings and voltage at 208MHz!! (DDR416)
I hope my replacement will do a lot better. :)
isn't Level4 the "most relaxed" one for oc'ing?Quote:

Im just so happy i didnt try it for 24 hours cuz x7 multi wont pass any memtest =)
Dunno what to try..

WOW! Damn...I didn't know someone posted that! lol That's awsome. Thanks man!
Heres a link explaning every bios setting more deeply.

One and a half hour is good enough for me since i'm not a gamer, it's all too flashy for me. :D
305MHz with CAS2,5 is very nice! :up:
Today i've been RMA-ing mine, it failed Prime at 208MHz 2-2-2-5 with 2.7V :stick:
Now that was a real bad stick if you ask me.
Also, i couldn't get my head around this DRAM drive strength thing, setting it to level 2 or 1 resulted in a no post. :confused:
Not even the "detecting array" message.
I really hope my replacement will do as fine as yours but knowing me....hmmmm, we'll see. ;)
Too sad =(Quote:

Oscar have some new bios (8/15) at:

Has anyone tried it yet?
Im running it, notice no difference.
Some raid update i think it said.
I am running it now as well. I am seeing how far I can go at 2-2-2-5 with everything else at AUTO with MemTest. Test 5 seems to be the one that will give you errors. And then I am testing SiSoft Sandra Bandwidth and I am going to make a chart. I figure is the best way to start to see how far this memory can go. Is there a ny other test besides 5 I should do as well to test the MEM?
I think #5 is the absolute killer for ram.
If it survives that, then it survives anything.
No it doesn't.
Example:
230 1:1 2.5-3-3-7 Everything else on AUTO passes Test 5-7 but isn't SuperPi Stable.
Changed the TREF to 4708 Cycles and passes Test 5 and now is SuperPi Stable at 39s. And Sandra Bandwidth is at 3,509.
And When I tryed to load Windows at a Drive Strength of 4 I got "Detecting Array". So I switched it to AUTO and I now load into Windows.
Mine had a dislike for test 6, it was the test what made the RAM run the hottest.
Cas 3 errored in test 5 at 290 but it did fine at CAS 2,5. :confused:
